WELCOME TO CRITICAL THINKING
Debunking false dogmas.

The terror of constant brainwashing indeed spells hopelessness for billions.
A static intellect is when predetermination takes the place of honest inquiry and truth is suppressed. The culprit is misguided religion which leads to fanaticism, barbarism and superstition. This form of credulity is the catalyst of existing adverse and prejudicial conditions that have plagued mankind for nearly 5,000 years.

"When the time of destruction is at hand the intellect becomes perverted." Vridha Chan. 16:17.

Can a fool, fool God? - Feb 08, 2002
What Baseball-club owner would pay his worst ball-player the same money as his best? Since he is the owner he can do anything and even through compassion make such a reward. But let's measure the disadvantages of such a measure, his club would go bankrupt because his worst players would never strive to be better while his best players would do less since it makes no sense to be the best. Baseball will become non-competitive and the millions who would be deprived of its entertainment will no longer support it, not to mention the thousands that will be affected by employment. If there were such an owner who lacks such business sense, he would be called a fool, won't he?

 A fool has no value for time or knowledge and so he remains a fool all his life. It certainly requires no effort to be a fool and in the end he/she repents for being a fool and gains salvation. On the other hand, a wise man values his time and works diligently and strenuously daily all his life, in his efforts through austerity and abstinence to attain higher wisdom also gains salvation.

Now I ask what would we call the 'All-powerful' God of the Torah, Bible, Qur'an, Puranas, Zend Avesta, Guru Grantha, and all that other false dogmas that can do anything, who gives the same reward of heaven to both a fool and a wise man? To an intelligent soul, he is not only mortal like the Ball-club owner but even more foolish. In reality, a fool who follows a false dogma is only fooling him/herself. 
                                                                 
                         Redemption can only be a fool's passport to a fool's paradise.

Re: Evolution

And what would that make you & him when a "dumbarse" has the answers?

So you're claiming to be smarter than Einstein?
So why are you giving me the publicity by engaging me?

Re: Evolution

You don't have any answers, only poorly argued unsubstantiated claims on your trash blog.
Einstein was an authority on physics, nothing more. The opinions of someone on topics beyond their expertise are worthless.

No one's watching our engagement. You're getting nothing.

Re: Evolution

And yet you can't challenge any of those "poorly argued unsubstantiated claims". "Almost forgot "...stupidest of men never change." Confucius

Now as coward with no name & face, you're claiming to be an expert.
It is only the wise who can draw nectar (wisdom) from poison (fool).

Re: Evolution

Assertions without evidence can be dismissed without challenge. Until you back your claims I have no need to address a single one.
Not once have I made such a claim.

You aren't wise, you're just trying to con people into believing you are, we've already established that.

Re: Evolution

It would be of no use ".....the stupidest of men never change".

Then how do you know Einstein's expertise wasn't also philosophy?

"Philosophy and reason will remain the most beautiful sanctuary they have always been for the select few."

You're yet to established who is wise.

Re: Evolution

Yes, you, the "stupidest" will not change, therefore you will not present evidence, because you know you can't.

People like you cherry pick a few quotes and paint him as an expert, but this argument is not about philosophy, it's about you making claims without backing them.

Re: Evolution

Yes, you, the "stupidest" will not change
Vj ~ You're yet to establish who is wise so how would you know who is the stupidest?

therefore you will not present evidence,
Vj ~ The wise know better in trying to present evidence to the stupidest.

People like you cherry pick a few quotes and paint him as an expert,
Vj ~ They may not be experts in the opinion of a fool, but they certainly make sense to me.

"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." Plato


Re: Evolution

It's not you, and that's all we need to know.

Also, don't try to pursue your favourite little tangent about bickering over the word "wise".
I'm not following it.

So, to the point: evidence.

Re: Evolution

You're cornered like a rat. No where to run eh!
How is evidence going to change that?

How is it possible to know who isn't wise, unless you know who is?

Re: Evolution

No, you're cornered.
All you're quotes and insults have failed you, and the only thing which will validate your argument is evidence.
Until you provide it you're just another wannabe cult leader trying to gather followers to their religion.

Re: Evolution

You're the one claiming to be wise by telling me who isn't wise.

Here is what my quotes have done for me

"Only the wisest the stupidest of men never change." Confucius

Until now, we're both the same way as when we started this dialogue.

Re: Evolution

No, I'm not. You're the only to have ever claimed to be wise.
Your quotes have done nothing beyond make you seem like a pretentious, self-righteous, attention seeking hypocrite.

No, as a matter of fact, we're not. You're losing this argument, and now you're backpedaling.

Re: Evolution

And how do you know I'm not?

The only way I can lose this argument is if you know who is wise.

How can I even begin to backpedal, when the wisest of men never change?

Re: Evolution

Because you've proven you aren't.
The wise don't wander around social media trying to promote their garbage blog.

No, you lost this argument when you refused to back your claims and tried to deflect.

You've been backpedaling ever since you were pressed for evidence.

Re: Evolution

This is philosophy, not science. It's higher because it has the answers science is looking for.

The evidence you're looking for lies with the wise, when you find one you've the evidence.

Re: Evolution

No, this is science.
If you are going to make claims regarding scientific topics you need to meet the standards of the scientific method.

Your blog has no evidence. You aren't wise, you're a con man.

Re: Evolution

Then your quarrel is with Einstein, dummy.
"Science without religion is lame...."

My blog is philosophy and your quarrel here, is with Confucius
"Only the wisest and the stupidest of men never change."

Must be fun for a coward hiding behind a fake name.

Re: Evolution

No, my quarrel is with you. You're the one making grandiose statements and refusing to meet scientific standards.

No amount of quoting dead famous people will change this fact.

Re: Evolution

Another quote to irk a prejudicial mind.
"We owe a lot to Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made." Albert Einstein

Irrelevant.
